The London Lounge

I would be very much interested if this is still available

Hello uppercase, if my wife saw your post she will cancel our Christmas trip to Rome. I have a LL linen I want to make into a coat by Caraceni and being back on LL makes me want to run back to Italy. I will surely post pictures soon but I wanted to tell you Brioni on via Barberini is absolutely disa...

Dopey, that's good to hear. I'm glad that Caraceni Roma worked out for you and you continue to use them when you visit Rome. I'm sure that people here would enjoy hearing your experience with Caraceni and what you think of the suits they made for you. Davidhuh, I do agree with you that you get the ...

Davidhuh As always, your comments are very very helpful. I must also admit that I have seen your Mahon suit pictures before I even started with Caraceni and was very impressed. I got a english gray herringbone flannel from Fox and asked them for the swatch. My wardrobe is probably going to fill up w...

Dear Davidhuh Really appreciate the detailed comments. I am going to wait a little bit and then take the suit back to Caraceni for adjustments and pressing and other suggestions. I also managed to get into the gray mistral subscription and also trying to get the flannels. It is time for me to now ch...

I can't open the pix but it sounds as though you did well. For some reason I've always expected a slightly different experience with shirts than suits. It seems that once the pattern is right, there doesn't have to be as much fiddling about. So while I've had some pleasure with the London makers to...

Sig. Caraceni has complied with your wish and given you a shorter jacket--very slightly shorter than I would have chosen given your relatively long legs and the width of your hips, as well as I can judge in the photos. The other point, and again this may be deceptive in the photos, is that the trou...

Thanks a lot davidhuh for the suggestions. I have been wearing the suit every week or so, but not sure what wearing in means. Does the cloth shrink? I have not gotten in washed since I am not certain where to send it to be laundered/ironed. Once I do wear it in, you suggest I take it back to Caracen...

Somehow, I find the whole experience very commercial and unenthusiastic. Or I probably expected a lot more.I am currently getting a shirt made by Maria Frittolini and the experience is a lot more friendly and welcoming. Dear Rathatha, thank you for sharing pictures, congratulations for your lovely ...

I am not sure why, but to open the pictures I have to right click and open in a new window/tab and seems to open.

Hello Hector I went to Camiceria Soldati upon the recommendation of Caraceni in Rome. So, they do come with respectable recommendation. Surely because the tailoring lady has worked with Carlo for some years. Carlo did seem to like my finished shirt. However I wasnt entirely happy with them due to th...

Pictures are from the wedding, not taken to show the niceties of the cloths. But suggestions and comments that can help me make my next bespoke commission better are most welcome. http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/t439/rthatha/IMG_7218.jpg http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/t439/rthatha/IMG_6994....

Apologies that I couldnt continue the thread in a timely fashion to take you through my bespoke experience. I will however write up a summary of all that happened after my last post. I do not have many photos of the process, but I shall post the photographs of the final results. As it happened, the ...

Thank you culverwood. I just posted a picture of my tie, thanks to you.

Davidhuh

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Shall keep them in mind and update as I progress.

How do I post pictures on this forum? Can you help please.

Regards
